[Public-List] Jyb track location on foredeck

[David Terrell]

Glenn

I will do my get the picture to you today. I use a working jib a lot and 
think Mike's idea of double sheeting it makes a lot of sense. I will try 
that this spring. Quantum made my sail and its dimensions are about what 
Mike describes. I have sheeted this sail to the outer track with this 
sail and look forward to trying this new idea.
